Ganjifa Card

Ganjifa or Ganjapa is a card game or type of playing cards that are most associated with Persia and India. After Ganjifa cards fell out of use in Iran before the twentieth century, India became the last country to produce them. The form prevalent in Odisha is Ganjapa. Ganjifa cards are circular or rectangular and traditionally hand-painted by artisans.
